Though it’s normally our editorial practice to embed tweets so you can see them for yourselves, it appears as though Briscoe’s Twitter account has been deactivated, either after he was flagged for the tweets or of his own volition and due to heavy backlash.

“It’s one thing to politely disagree with gay marriage, quite another to say that you would commit acts of violence on anyone who teaches your children that it’s OK,” writes Keith Harris.

Briscoe currently wrestles on the Ring of Honor circuit, far from the wide public exposure of companies like the WWE.

This isn’t the first time Briscoe has used Twitter to express his anti-gay views. Two years ago, he tweeted “Damn there’s a lot of fags out in New York today #WhatTheF–k.” It’s unclear whether ROH execs punished him for his comments, but since he just did it again, we doubt it.
